Wow, this shit is great. I wonder what other people think of it?
Uhhhmm, I'm sorry sweetie but liking VEG here on Sup Forums is illegal.
Landon Myers
The episodes are a fucking hit or miss. I can't even get past episode 8 yet because Violet sperging out at everyone is making me cringe.
Jonathan Bennett
>Finds episode 8 cringy I find your lack of humanity Cringy.
Christian Young
It was the same for me, initially i didn`t expect much from this anime, but it grew in me at each episode (episode 10 was my favorite) The music and artstyle are very good too
Lucas Richardson
>cringe Go back to the filthy frank section on YouTube you retarded faggot.
Jaxson Bell
It made me cry in multple episodes (though it's not hard to do cause I'm a pretty emotional person) but everytime after I dry my tears away I'm left feeling absolutely nothing, with the only exception being the episode about the mother's letters for her daughter cause that really touched me deeply. So yeah, it's definitely forced melodrama, but still pretty to watch.
Samuel Brooks
VEG > your seasonal animu
Charles Morgan
>p-please watch this show: the post Jesus Christ, fuck off.
John Bennett
>please watch the most popular animu of the season I don't get it.
Mason Brooks
this desu senpai, why do VEGfags insist on shilling their garbage show? I couldn't even get pass episode 3 due to how bad it is, sure the art is great but that's all their is to it.
Christian Fisher
It's the most popular show of the season for a reason.
Luke Reed
That's not Sora Yori.
Ayden Nguyen
Ahahaha, no.
Jaxon Gray
Not an argument.
David Robinson
I expected pretentious shit. I got pretentious not-shit.
Dylan Stewart
If it wasn't for Violet's beauty, I wouldn't have bother watching it at all.
James Robinson
Well I hated it and dropped it. Violet doesn't feel like she's a broken person who is closed off to other people, she comes across like a huge annoying sperg. Her development is neither logical nor shown off so it's not satisfying. She learns these small lessons in 3 and 4 and the next time we see her she's an empathetic competent Disney princess doing moe moe kyun shit like pulling her blank face into a smile. I don't know what other anime you've watched, but this practically defines meandering around with no advancement since they're all disconnected sidestories with throwaway characters, and there's no throughline until way late. Her running into the brother who's there just to be an asshole for no reason which we don't see is probably the best example of this. We never see her use lethal force after war so no winners there as far as development either. I don't find any of the stories interesting or sad, much less profound. It's all cheap melodrama because the show doesn't have real characters, so they just set up sad situations, sensationalize it with music and visuals, and expect you to be sad at the idea rather than empathizing with the characters that you barely know.
This is all big picture stuff, it doesn't properly capture the frustrating experience of watching the show minute-to-minute. The far bigger issue is the lack of logic or care put into the writing or storyboarding. The war ends months ago but everyone looks like they've been living in paece for ages, the Colonel is first to recognize the importance of the wartime post office but months after the war he already has well-established larger competition in the industry and there's academia and a fairy-tale origin for technology that seems extremely recent, it's mentioned that the population is significantly illiterate so the entire auto memoir doll thing doesn't make sense as a viable profession for country bumpkins, and everyone's too stupid to stop Violet from fucking up her first job.
Isaiah Ramirez
Violet is a worse written Rei-clone.
Jeremiah Young
>We never see her use lethal force after war so no winners there as far as development either. >Was used as a tool of destruction even without orders >Now refuses to kill anyone. Especially in the latest episode. And she listens to her superiors. Imagine being this angry and this delusional.

Christopher Rogers
See You have to pay more attention since this show doesn't really spell out how Violet develops.
Jacob Jackson
OP finds out Sup Forums has shit taste

SUBS WHEN

Isaiah Ortiz
Why is saber dressed so weird?
Landon Lewis
i know, asenshi is making us suffer to put us in the right mood for ep 12 you should've said 5 minutes
Oliver Sanchez
The show probably wouldn't get half the hate it does on Sup Forums if it weren't constantly being shilled as AOTS/AOTY.
Best thing is seeing japs say the same as us, boring, shit pacing, shit directing, forced drama, too dark and it goes on and on.
Also finally someone points out the absolute dogshite of an ED it has, it's maximun cringe.
Jordan Sanchez
But the japs aren't saying that, unless you're using yaraon as your only source.
William Baker
WOW. Nice blog, dude!! Where can I ubboat?
Angel Myers
Kyoanus can't write for shit, every time they've deviated from LN content the show has ended being garbage, just like VEG, but this goes back years by now.
They can't direct for shit without using retarded slowmo and closeups during combat, or being oblivious to quality lightning, and let's not talk about having dynamic pace so the show isn't such boring trash.
It's not just the nips though, you see this posts calling it boring garbage literally everywhere, it's only followed by chinks but those are subhuman bugs. And double digit fedora redditors that are too retarded to be self-aware of their autism.

VE selling well is a great thing for anime. This is leaps and bounds above the status quo.
Dylan Jenkins
VEG is the キモオタ filter of the year and it's doing well. Stay mad pleb.
